Banding dry fertilizer is one of those things sort of like cover crops. When you first heard about it you thought to yourself, is this just a fad or is this for real? Well much like cover crops it is for real and is gaining some momentum, here is why. For years the efficiency of spreading dry fertilizer on top has attracted guys to doing so but it comes with a cost, the loss and inaccuracy of the fertilizer placement. Today we look to band, strip, zone apply dry fertilizer to gain efficiency and lose less. There are several ways to band dry fertilizer, strip till units, single coulter Yetter Magnum Units, Yetter Strip Freshener units and several more in the spring or fall. Using an air delivery of some sort is required and some type of unit to place the fertilizer in a sub surface fashion. One of the reasons to run to this type fertilizer is the fact that it does not run off, go away, or move much with water. It is a fairly inexpensive form of fertilizer and does not move in short periods of time. Also blending of multiple products can be done to create the perfect recipe for your farm ground, which is hard to do with liquid or NH3. Attached are pictures and videos of tools we have set up for dry fertilizer placement. Feel free to contact us for your fertilizer placement needs,
